This little bundle of fun is Pete. He’s barely stopped being a puppy – he’s two – and loves to run and play.

Pete has congenital spinal deformities, which can cause intermittent pain if he moves the wrong way, so it’s best if he lives in a home without small children. Pete is very friendly but he once bit a child that tried to pick him up.

“Pete is very friendly, his bite reaction was due to pain, he has never shown any aggression otherwise. He can be easily picked up and carried, in a way as to not aggravate his spine,” SAINTS says.

Pete would love to have another dog in the home, and wouldn’t mind a cat, although he does have a tendency to chase them to try to get them to play.
